Well the interface is as we described: the module gives a callback
function which will be called before launching boot function. This
interface is enough for both (and probaly many other) needs. The only
problem is that callback functions can conflict with each other and with
boot function. E.g. if callback sets an INT13h hook and then boot
function reads harddrive then it could get wrong data. In my opinion the
ese callback and boot functions shouldn't use device access at all. This
is especially true because theese functions are after grub_machine_fini.

There could several templates for using such feature because it's quite
universal
